I always give players grace with back injuries. I'm sure hooping ain't Simmons priority anymore but he still gave the Clippers good mins this year. You just can't play him late in games cause he can't shoot FTs.He checked OUT after the back injury.
He lost a lot of his athleticism after the surgeries.
Then it became about SCAMMING The NBA.
The Ben Simmons BEFORE the back injury (PRE-2020) was a different player. He actually played with aggression.
If the Knicks bring him in on a vet min as one of the last guys off their bench, it'd be a good deal


instead.
